Remember how you always wanted to watch youtube videos on your PSP ? well now you can . Read on :
For Official firmware users aka (Unhacked PSP's ) :
You can't watch videos live / online via wifi on an offical firmware PSP as PSP doesn't support the newer versions of flash . This tutorial is for watching youtube offline on you offical firmware PSP .
1) Copy the youtube url link you want to download eg. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDBVAuFJ7zo
2) Next go to Vixy.net , choose convert to MP4 for ipod/PSP (mpeg4+ACC) and click on start
3) It will take some time and maybe a few tries if the server is full , be patient .
4) The download will begin , once it's done just copy it to the Video folder which should be on the root of your PSP . If the folder is not there create one and drop the file you downloaded in there .
Troubleshooting : Video still now working then go to the root of you psp , make a folder called "mp_root" , then click on mp_root and make a folder called 100MNV01 and drop the video in there.
For Custom Fimrware users / PSPTUBE tutorial :
This part is written by plunk , I personally prefer watching youtube videos on my itouch rather than my psp . But for those of you who like to use your psp to watch videos from youtube , Veoh , Google Video ,RedTube , Dailymotion and other naughty little sites than read plunk's guide :
"As I was sitting thinking about the many directions the psp is headed in the near future, I wanted to show you all a little bit about where the psp is now. It was about 11:00 at night my daughter was in bed, i didn't want to turn the tv up to loud and wake her, so i popped out the psp, opened up a nice little program called psptube, and started watching a movie. Tired of ripping movies and converting them down ? Wish you could stream video ? Psptube is the way to go the newest version support various sites (mentioned above)
The program is very handy as you can simply type in what you are searching for flick through each of the sites and see the results and play them all through psptube. So if you are looking for some laughs or for a good movie to watch you can do a search, or hop onto a site like http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/ (which tells you what servers the different tv shows and movies are running from, so you can see if it is on google video or veoh and such) find a tv show or movie you are looking for from the site and then simply go to psptube and type in either the tv name, movie name, or id.
To install this on your CFW psp download this Link
with this version of psptube all you need to simple do is to place it into your game380 folder or game3xx folder ex. x:/psp/game380/arnookiePSPTube3/ the containing files. where x is your psp root. As simple as that you are up and running. With this newer version i have never needed to install dev id so it really is as simple as just placing the files in the right folder. No browsing through your .cfg files to place your user id in or anything.

Sounds simple enough , and if you need any help plunk can be found on the igizmore chat . Thats it , a few more posts before igizmore closes down . Enjoy !!!

Crayon Physics the most creative puzzle game
Crayon Physics is an amazing 2D freeware puzzle game for the PC and Iphone (see "Extras" below) created by Petri Purho as a prototype in under a week!!! .This is one of the most creative games I have played and what separates this game from the rest is its unique game play . The object of the game is pretty straight forward , you have to direct the ball to the star by drawing lines, circles and boxes . The cool part of this game is there is no single fixed solution for this game, you can be as creative as you want. This game is played entirely with the mouse and is more enjoyable with a digital pen or on a tablet PC . Here's a quick walk through of the game spoiler alert contains game's solution:
Download this game from here (.exe easy installer) If the ''shortcut to crayon'' doesn't work click on the crayon folder and then click on the crayon icon or alternative link (.rar format open with Winrar) or torrent link .
Instructions :
Draw with left mouse button.
Remove / Delete your drawings by right clicking on them.
Spacebar - Will reset the level.
Esc - Will open the menu.
Alt + enter - Will toggle fullscreen.
Alt + F4 - Will quit the game
Extras:
Download new levels from here and here
Make you own levels, download the from here
Get the Iphone version the game game ( know as iPhysics from here )
Bugs:
A few problems I found in this game are that :
(1) Circles are sometimes 'squared' away
(2) A nasty lag when you draw too many shapes and
(3) The music gets kinda irritating after playing the game a couple of time's. (To delete the music go to the crayon folder > data > sfx > and delete "_ghost_-_lullaby.ogg")
The new version of the game Crayon Physics deluxe is in the making and it looks really amazing . It doesn't limit the game to squares , lines and circles . Check out the video below .

Make Pandora Unbricking Battery Magic memorystick
Lets get started ... A pandora's battery is a special service battery along with the “magic memorystick” that can downgrade and unbrick any psp (even 3.52) . You can now bring your dead (bricked) PSP back to life or downgrade any firmware psp , yes ANY FIRMWARE - 100 % . This amazing breakthrough is all thanks to the Noobz! team which has some of the best PSP hackers . So here’s how to make your normal battery and memorystick into a Pandora battery and magic memorystick . The tutorial looka kinda complicated (I tried my best to simplify it) but hang in there it aint as hard as you think it is . Please follow the instructions carefully.
NOTE :
NOTE TO NEWBIES: you have to make your normal battery into a pandora’s battery via software and stuff not by manually short circuiting it or something
REQUIREMENTS :
1) A spare PSP battery (recommended) , any make will do .
2) A spare memory stick PRO DUO (it has to be PRO DUO)
3) A PSP with Custom firmware ( OE or M33) or a 1.5 PSP. Ask you friends if you don't have oen ,or search for one .
INSTALLATION :
1) Take out the 1.5 or Custom firmware PSP ( OE or M33) and put in the spare memorystick (it has to be pro duo) and spare battery that you wanna modify .
Now if your PC shows C:/ in your CMD copy the address bar and paste it in followed by the letter of your psp drive .
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\PANDORA\mspformat\mspformat.exe I
IF you PC shows C:\Documents and Setting\Username> copy the address bar and paste it in followed by the letter of your psp drive
C:\Documents and Setting\Username>Desktop\PANDORA\mspformat\mspformat.exe I
8) Keep trying till you get this prompt (like mine) :
>>> C:\Documents and Setting\Username>Desktop\PANDORA\mspformat\mspformat.exe I
>>> You are about to format the drive I .
>>> All Data will be lost . Do you want to continue? [Y]
Then you type in y and you will see
>>> Drive successfully formatted, and partition moved.
After that you can close the CMD box
9) Disconnect your psp from the PC and remove the memory card and turn of the PSP , then place the MS (MS=memory stick) back in and turn the PSP on . Then reconnect you PSP to the Pc . NOTE: You have to do this …
10) Now download this pack from here , extract it with WinRar and copy the PSP folder and the UPDATE.PBP to the ROOT of the PSP memory stick . If you you have a 1.5 PSP no problem , If you have Custom Firmware make sure you turn on the 1.5 kernel mode ( to know how see here)
11) Disconnect your PSP . Scroll to GAME and click on “Pandora’s Battery Firm. Installer” it will take a few moments . After its done remove the MS from the PSP turn it off then place it back in and turn the PSP back on again, you HAVE to do this .
12) Connect your PSP to the PC . A Few files and folders will be formed in your ROOT , now copy the msipl.bin from the root to the “msinst Folder” which is inside your extracted Pandora folder . It should look like this
13) Here we go again START >RUN type in CMD . That black box will open again . Now copy the address of the msinst.exe followed by the PSP drive letter followed by the address of the msipl.bin
Now if your PC shows C:/ in your CMD it should be something like this (with reference to PSP’s drive as I)
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\PANDORA\msinst\msinst.exe I Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\PANDORA\msinst\msipl.bin
IF you PC shows C:\Documents and Setting\Username> then it will look something like this :
C:\Documents and Settings\username>Desktop\PANDORA\msinst\msinst.exe I Desktop\PANDORA\msinst\msipl.bin
If you did it right you will get a prompt like (this promp will differ from PC to PC) :
>>> PSP MS IPL Installer
>>> Load IPL code msipl.bin
>>> 241664 bytes(59 block) readed
>>> Target DRIVE is 1
>>> Check partation Sector
>>> boot status 0x80
>>> start head 0x0B
>>> start sec/cyl 0x0018
>>> partation type 0x06
>>> last head 0x7F
>>> last sec/cyl 0xCFE0
>>> abs sector 0x00000177
>>> ttl sector 0x0003CF689
>>> signature 0xAA55
>>> Check BPB Sector
>>> signature AA55
>>> Check free reserved sector:OK
>>> Write ABS Sector 0x10 to 0x1E7
>>> Are You Sure ?[Y]
Type in Y and you will get
>>> Write MS BOOT CODE
Congrats you now have a Magic Memory stick . Now Disconnect your psp from the PC and remove the memory card and turn of the PSP , then place the MS back in and turn the PSP on .
NOTE : if you get
>>> PSP MS IPL Installer
>>> Load IPL code msipl.bin
>>>Can’t open msipl.bin
The location (address) of the msipl.bin is WRONG (i got this like 100 times until I figured it out just keep trying …)
NOW MAKING THE PANDORA UNBRICKING
14) After you have the magic MS leave it in the PSP then , Turn on your psp and go to Pandora’s battery Creator , make sure you have the spare battery in it . I Recommend backing up so you can make the pandora battery into a normal one press “triangle " first it will back up then go to “Pandora’s battery Creator” again and press X … You normal spare battery is now a … PANDORA UNBRICKING BATTERY … WOO HOO… You did it .
NOTE :when the Pandora’s battery Creator loads and if you get “ERROR at address 0x27” or a similar error you are screwed , you cant turn that battery into a Pandora battery but you can use it as a normal battery . Use another battery and try again . How do I know this ??? coz I got screwed too : P .

Pandora Downgrade unbrick Any PSP firmware
Ok , Now i assume that you have made the pandora battery , if you havent - learn how to make one from here .
Once you have the pandora battery unbricking or downgrading will be a breeze , and the best part is , it's 100% safe.
NOTE : this is for people who have made the pandora battery in my method
GUIDE:
1) Now what you do is take the bricked PSP or the psp you want to downgrade to 1.5 , it doesn't matter which firmware it is , and yes this works for all modchips (inculding TA-082) . I recommend taking out the UMD (this is not compulsory i just recommend it)
2) Make sure the Pandora-unbricking-service battery is charged , then put it in the PSP , The psp should turn on automatically .
3) After that insert the " magic memorystick " in it .
4) The wifi and memorystick lights will flash for a moment and a white Text will appear .
5) Press X to downgrade , the battery should be 50% charged at this point if not it will prompt you to charge it.
6) Just agree to the terms and press X ... the downgrading will begin .
7) It will flash into the kernel (don't worry this is the safest any downgrader has ever been) , wait for a couple of minutes and it will tell you that its done (press X) and it will then turn off.
8) Take out the "magic memorystick" and the "pandora battery" and insert the the normal battery and memorystick and turn the PSP on. It will show you a crazy Blue screen (a sign that it is downgraded) and Congrats thats it you done , it was pretty simple wasn't it ??? . Apply your personal settings like date , time and stuff .
EXTRAS:
How to make magic memorystick into a normal one:
Format it and use it without the pandora battery (use a normal one) , though i don't recommend it .
How to make a pandora battery into a normal one :
Again i don't recommend this , coz when your psp is bricked or upgraded to a new firmware this battery will be the only one that can save you .
Next I Hope you backed it up . If you did :
1) Put in the magic memorystick and Take out normal battery.
2) Power the PSP with the AC charger only .
3)Turn it on , after its on insert the pandora battery .
4) Go to Pandora Battery Maker ... Press L+R to restore you pandora battery into a normal one from the eeprom.bin (that is if you backed it up ) , If you did not back it up and yet want it to become a normal one press square , it will turn into a normal battery ,but you will face problems (like take's too much time to charge and stuff) just don't blame me for it , like i said i don't recommend turning a pandora battery back a normal one (whats the use of making it in the first place ???) .
5) NOTE : Don't keep turning you battery into pandora and normal, this will only spoil the battery .
Now you got your 1.5 PSP upgrade it to the 3.40 OE-A one of the best custom firmware from see 3.40 oe custom firmware installation . Please Tell your friends about www.igizmore.uni.cc or http://igizmore.blogspot.com

How to Downgrade a 2.71 ,2.7. 2.6 , 2.5 or lower psp to 1.5
I have personally tried this downgrader 5 times and all resulting in a complete success. I do not guarantee you that you shall be successful as me . Please try this AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will give you 99% success chance if you do EXACTLY WHAT I SAY. But I say let's get it done , it worked for me 5 times and I doubt you will have any problems (hopefully) if you do what i say
: D (trust me).
NOTE: If you have a TA-082 psp , to check click here (your UMD tray will be green in colour) do not attempt this downgrading . Instead do this how to play games on psp without downgrading . I repeat do not attempt this if you have a TA-082 modchip (rare)
REQUIRMENTS:
1) You will need WinRaR for extracting download it from here
2)Your PSP must be 100% charged , you will also need a psp USB cable and a FORMATED memory stick which is atleast more than 32 MB.
To check whats your f/w (firmware) version go to "system settings " on the main menu > choose "system information" > and see the system software
3) If your firmware is 2.71 skip this step , if its lower than that download this here
4)Download the DOWNGRADER from here
5)Download the DOWNDATER file from here
OK LET'S GET EM DONE
Downgrading to 1.5
1)If you are on 2.71 Skip this step . If you're on a lower one then go into PSP > GAME and create a new folder called UPDATE. Put the EBOOT.PBP file from STEP (3)in there. Restart your PSP and update it as normal via the GAME menu (Just click on the update icon on the folder and follow the instructions). Delete the data when you're done.
2) Open up the zipped Downgrader file from step (4) . Click on MS_ROOT and you will see the following: PSP , d.bin , LEEME.TXT , README.TXT Copy these onto you PSP's root (the first screen you see when you go into it in USB mode eg removable disk (H:) or (I:) or (J:). If it tells you 'there's already a folder called PSP' or something overwrite it - Just click on "OK".
3) Take the unzipped DOWNDATER folder from STEP (5) and put it in the same place, your PSP's root. your psp should have these things
PSP (folder) <- very important DOWNDATER (folder) <- very important d.bin <- you should have this MP_ROOT (folder) <- it's not important that you have this . LEEME.TXT <- it's not important that you have this README.TXT <- it's not important that you have this MEMSTICK.IND and MSTK_PRO.IND <- Not important that you have this your psp should look like this
then RECHECK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE again and again
4) SEE that your psp is full charged , Remove the UMD disk (if any) and Recheck the steps .
5) See this video before doing it here or here (alt. link) it helps alot.
6) Disconnect your psp fom the PC , restart it and go to photos (A small trick that always works for me is switch on your psp scrool to settings then scrool back to photos and click on it as fast as you can .) If it gets stuck just hold the power till it switches off or remove the battery (seriously chill don't worry this is normal ) . After a few attempts your whole screen will turn red (just like the video ) just leave it. It took me 7 attempts for the first time to turn the whole screen red , after about 2 minutes the psp will automatically switch off just leave it alone.
7) Wait for about 1 minute before switching your psp back on. If everything has gone well you will see a crazy blue screen (like the one below) , just press circle . CONGRATS YOU SUCCESSFULY DOWNGRADED YOUR PSP (woo-hoo!) (read below)
YAAAA... See I told you so :D works every time. It will ask you for date and time and stuff after which you can go to system settings and check your 1.5 f/w on your system information . FORMAT YOUR PSP AFTER THIS .
